Researchers have developed a new dataset called IceHorizon to address the challenge of horizon detection in ice-covered maritime environments. This dataset, comprising ship-based and drone-based videos, was used to evaluate six different horizon detection algorithms. The study found that hybrid methods, which combine deep learning with classical line detection, outperformed purely classical approaches, especially in visually ambiguous conditions. Performance was notably better with ship-based imagery compared to drone-based imagery, highlighting the impact of acquisition characteristics. AI
